Things to do for September 23, 2010

The Weekender

Disco Brunch, Erotic Shakespeare and Pumpkin Milkshakes

Thursday

This week, Perks is taking 30% off your next delivery of Hancock Gourmet Lobster Company’s six-pack of
buttery, delicious lobster rolls and whoopie pies. Because we know you only order lobster rolls in
six-packs.

Friday

SILKY SMOOTH

The Velvet Massage at the Dana Hotel

There are times when you wish you could just drape yourself in velvet. But until that golden day, there’s
this: a massage with vetiver oils, which makes your skin feel like velvet. If that doesn’t work, the
complimentary glass of whiskey at the end might.

A Chicago-style dog and a cold beer—great for a hot summer day. Also: any other day. Big Star’s
bacon-wrapped Sonoran dog with mayo, mustard, jalapeño sauce, pinto beans, onions and tomatoes can
stand up to anything you can pour in your shot glass. Warning: asking for ketchup may get you deported.

Saturday

GOT MILK

Milkshake Social at DMK Burger Bar

It might not feel like it today, but fall is finally, officially here. And that means just one thing:
watching Jay Cutler throw interceptions. Oh, and pumpkin pie milkshakes. DMK’s serving them up with
housemade pumpkin puree, Petersen’s vanilla ice cream and malted milk. Spike to taste.

Erotica and Burlesque at The Spot

It goes something like this: you go to this dive in Uptown, where a burlesque act called American Demigods
will perform the first act of an erotic play inspired in part by Shakespeare (that old cad). Then, a
burlesque performance breaks out. So basically, it’s like a night at your place.

Sunday

STAYIN’ ALIVE

Disco Brunch at District

Whatever vodka-soaked mayhem you indulged in the night before, nothing will get you back on your feet
like... disco. And more vodka. And $5 Bloodys, some flat-screens and an all-you-can-eat buffet. Wearing a
Travolta-style white suit: not discouraged.
